Environment

Intel® Server System R2224WTTYSR Intel® Integrated RAID Module RMS3AC160

Description

System crashes. Upon reboot, during Power-on self-test (POST), the following message shows up:

"RAID Adapter
Firmware Failed Validation!!!
Adapter needs to be reflashed.
Press Any Key to Continue..."

 

Note

If you try to update the firmware, a message indicates that the image file has an older version or the same version.

Resolution

Update the Intel® RAID Controller firmware (or reflash if the controller already has the latest firmware), and then power-cycle the server as follows:

  1. Download the latest firmware for your controller.
  2. Update the controller firmware.
    Note

    If the controller already has the latest firmware, use the following command to force a firmware reflash:
    storcli.efi /c0 download file=..\..\..\xxxx.rom noverchk

  3. Turn it off.
  4. Unplug the power cord(s).
  5. After waiting for at least 2 minutes, plug the power cords again.
  6. Power the system back on.
